special to the Gazette.
CoTULLA, TEX, Jan. lS.-Too much
credit cannot be given George Schmidt
and his rangers for the hard work they
have dOue in lying out day and night
running down murderefs of the late
sheriff, c.. B. Mckinney. Last evening
about dark the captain, with five OF his
men, was in the Simmons pasture, SIX
miles from TWOhig near p watering place,
lying in wait on both sides
of the trail leading to
the well, when Bud Crenshaw
and ". O. TOmpkins came riding up on
horseback. The captain demanded them
to h lit. TCmpkins obeyed and threw up
his hands, but Crenshaw whipped out his
revolver and pulled down upon Lieut.
Grimes, when the rangers fred several
shots into his body, and he fell from his
horse with his revolver clinched in his
hand, firing two shots at the rangers
while lying on his back. The rangers
advanced, telling him to drop the
revolver, that they did not
want to kill him. He dropped
it, and when the men got closer to him he
grabbed up his revolver ana was about to
fire another shot, when the revolver was
knocked out of his hand. Crenshaw was
taken to camp near by. A fire WAS
built, and he was cared for until this
morning, when he died, requesting that
his body be taken to his sister, Mrs.
George Hill, at Twobig station, where it
was delivered. Crenshaw would not make
any statement in his dying moments.
Tompkins fed during the excitement. He
has been in company with Crensraw ever
since the murder of Mckinney. The
rangers arrived with the BODY of Cren-
shaw al O'Clock this evening, and Sher-
if Fly summoned jury, who viewed
the body and will render verdict to-mor-
row morning. The impression is that

A BLOODY DEED
A st. Louis Man Kills His Wife with a
Butcher-Knife and Cuts His Throat.


Butcher Knife and Cuts His Throat.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 18-Aoout 2:30
this afternoon William Dillee, mechanic
ferty-tive years old, living at 1924 Angel
rodt street, walked into the kitchen Of his
house where his wife, Frederick,
was busily at work, and snatch
ing butcher knife from her
hand plunged it into her breast killing
her instantly. He then stripped the body,
dragged it into an adj lining room and
placed it upon bed aud returning to the
kitchen he burned the woman's clothes
and scraped the blood from the
foor as well as he could with
the knife. Shortly afterwards
his children returning frcm school found
him sitting by the bed on which the body
of his wife lay with the butcher knife with
which lie had killed her in his hand. He
ordered them TO leave and they,
seeing their mother dead ana
blood on the floor, were terribly
frightened and gave the alarm. The
neighbors rushed in, and as they did SO
Dillee drew the knife across his throat
and severed his windpipe. This Iot kill
ing him, ne attempted to hang himself,
but the police arriving he was prevent
ed from accomplishing that, and
was taken to the dispensary and thence to
the city hospital, where he now lies in a
precarious condition, but he may not
die. He could not talk ON account
of his windpipe being severed, and,
although he could write, he re
fused to assign any cause for
his act. 1t is thought that he was insane
and that he intended to cut his wife's
body in pieces and burn it, hut before he
could do that he was discovered and then
he tried to kill himself

Had Hi. Army Clothes On.


II was Sunday evening. Angelica
had invited her best young man " to
the evening meal. Everything had
passed off harmoniously until Angeli-
cas- seven-year-old brother broke the
blissful silence by exclaiming:
aOh, NAL yer oughter seen Mr..
Lighted the other night, when he called
TO take Angie to the drill; he looked so
nice sitting beside her with his arm"
"Fredl" screamed the maiden, whose
face began to assume the color of a
well-done crab, quickly placing her
hand over his month.
aYou oughter seen him" continued
the persistent informant, after gaining
his breath and the embarrassed girls
hand was removed; "he had his arm"
"Freddie!" shouted his mother, as in
her frantic attempts to reach the boys
a%uricular appendage, she upset. the con-
tents Of the teapot in Mr.. Lighted's
lap, making numerous Russian war
maps over his new lavender pantaloons.
"Iwas just going to say" the half
frightened boy pleaded, between a cry
and an injured whim, "he had his
arm"
"You boyl away to the wood she'd"
Numbered the father.
The boy made for the nearest exit,
exclaiming as he waltzed, 81 was going
to say Mr.. Lighted had his army clothes
on, and I'll leave it to him if he didn't"
The boy was permitted to return,
and the remainder of the meal was
spent in explanations from the family
in regard to the number of times he
had been "talked to" for using his fing-
ers for aladle.

Primeyai finder.

There are some kinds of mushrooms,
notably the woody and leathery ones,
that nc more suggest ideas of a meal to-
us than a log of timber or a pair Of
old boots do. But If we donot think Of
eating them, we can fashion them into
excellent razor strops, or other useful
articles, on occasion. Several polypores
make firstrate finder, and for such pur-
pose they have undoubtedly been used
from very remote times. We infer that
fires were kindled by their means in the
ancient Swiss lake dwellings, from the
fact that they occur among the remains
in almost every n Of these old habi-
tations. The common finder polypore
has also been found in the lake dwelling
at Lochlee, in Ayrshire. These old
lake dwellings were probably not with.
out their vices, and may have pounded
polypores to dust and snuffed that
up as eagerly as certain natives Of
Northern Asia do at the present
day. 49,.
A talking bird that always says the
right thing in the right place would be
a wonder, indeed. This is, of course,
too much to expect, for it would be
doing better than many human beings
do. The Schenectady, N. Y, Star
gives the following amusing instance
of a parrots impertinmce:
"Children's Day was celebrated in the
Methodist church, which wal hand
somely decorated with flowers, while
numerous canaries in cages, suspended
about the editice, added their sweet
music to the singing of the children.
One lady, not having u canary, brought
an accomplished parrot. The parrot
behaved quite well for a time; but,
when q little boy Of his acquaintance
stood on the platform and began a
recitation, the bird commencedto mock
him. Finally it screeched out, Hey,
you little DEVIL" which had the effect
of completely breaking up the youth
full declaimer, and ~demoralizing the
congregation. The bird was led out of
the church In disgrace"

Losers of Money.

"Pardon me, sir, but did you drop
twenty-dollar gold piece?" askeda man
with an earnest look on his face, and a
memorandum book in his hand, of a
well-dressed individual.
The man addressed ran his hand ner-
vously into various pockets and re.
piled:
"Well, now, I declared Can it be
possible that / was so careless as to
drop that coinp Yes, it's gone. 1 must
have lost it right here, near where we
are standing"
The man opened his memorandum
book, took a stub of a lead-pencil from
his vest pocket and said politely:
"Wil you favor me with your name
and address?"
They were given and the questioner
started on when the well,dressed man
cried:
"Hi, there! Where's the money? Give
me my gold piecep"
"Oh, I didn't find any money. I took
a notion this morning that in a city
like this, where thousands and thou
sands Of dollars are handled every hour,
there must be great losses, and started
out to investigate the matter. Between
here and the river l found seven men
who had lost twenty-dollar gold pieces,
and I expect to run the list up to two
hundred before / reach the City Hall.
